Hôtel de Beaune, Private mansion in 6th arrondissement of Paris, France.
Hôtel de Beaune is a private mansion from the 18th century in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, located at the intersection of rue du Regard and boulevard Raspail. The building displays classical features of aristocratic residential architecture from that period, with carefully proportioned facades and interior spaces.
The Carmelite religious order built this residence around 1728 near their convent before Paris underwent major transformations. The property survived the French Revolution and later passed into private hands.
The name Beaune does not come from a founding family: the Carmelites built the house around 1728 as rental property and let it before the Revolution to Ferdinand de Rohan Guéméné, then archbishop of Cambrai. Look for the carved stone face with scrollwork above the arched doorway and the blue plaque reading "7" beside the doors.
The building sits at a busy intersection with good access to public transport, easily reachable by bus and metro lines in the area. Since it is a private residence, visitors can view the exterior from the street, but there is no public access to the interior.
The sculptor Maximilien Constant Delafontaine, son of the painter Pierre-Maximilien Delafontaine, died in the mansion in 1867. The building was listed as a monument historique on 16 March 1926, and its neighbour at the same period was the hôtel de Rothembourg.
